The principal objects of the Choir are to promotc the study, prdclice and perforniance of choral works, to
educate the public in the arts and in particulaT in the arts of singing and music by assisting in and taking part
in concerts and similar activities.
Publie benefit and eligibillty criteria
The Charity Commission's genernl Ruidancc on public benefit has been used for reference ivhen compiling
this report and in planning future developments and activities.
Review of activiti&8 2nd future plans and aetivity
The Statement of Financial Activities for the year is detailed on page 5 of the financial statements.
The result for the year shows a surplus of £5,767 on the unrestricted funds. This figure includes unrealised
gains on investments of £233.70.
The OffIcers and Committee intend to continue with the objectives for which the Choir was fornied and also
supporting the activities of the Colne Valley Boys.
Th¢ choir is continuing with its plan of operational reforni, increasing concerts and seeking ncw rcvcnuc
streams. Live perforniances are continuing to be reviewed with the onus on increasing the number of concerts,
although, there have been concerts that will no longer go ahead, such as Scart)orough, the choir has made a
btrun¥ ildrl Io Lovcr I"evciiu¢ that has been lost and is continuin8 to Iwk io ncw opportuiiili¢b ￿vIn¥ fvDvuTIIs.
2024 was marked by a variety of activilies and community focused events. Some of these activities required
financial support from the choir, hoivever, eight events took place in the financial vear to 31 March 2025 that
provided operdtional revenue for the choir.
The choir has a number of events planned in the year lo March 2026 10 provide operational revenue, as well
as the continuation of community focused projects. Let All Mcn Sing, which ivas ver), successful in IM)th
March 2023 and 2024 has proven to be slightly less successful in the year to March 2025 with lower
attendance. txt All Men Sing was supported ivith grant funding of £2,000 in the year to March 2024,
however, this was not possible in the year to March 2025 due to lack of availability of grants.
It has been decided that Let All Men Sing will not run in the year to March 2026. and the choir ivill seek to
fill the space with other concerts to cover the revenue.
During the year there has been little movement on the choir investments with an unrealised gain of just £233
duc to uncertainty in the market. The £120,000 investment was from the legacy received in the year ended 31
March 2022 from ihe ivill of the laie Muriel siead. This has been inv¢slcd with lh¥ iiil¢iitioii to piovid¢
revenue through investment to support choir projects in the fulure.

supporting the activities of the Colne Valley Boys.
Th¢ choir is continuing with its plan of operational reforni, increasing concerts and seeking ncw rcvcnuc
streams. Live perforniances are continuing to be reviewed with the onus on increasing the number of concerts,
although, there have been concerts that will no longer go ahead, such as Scart)orough, the choir has made a
btrun¥ ildrl Io Lovcr I"evciiu¢ that has been lost and is continuin8 to Iwk io ncw opportuiiili¢b ￿vIn¥ fvDvuTIIs.
2024 was marked by a variety of activilies and community focused events. Some of these activities required
financial support from the choir, hoivever, eight events took place in the financial vear to 31 March 2025 that
provided operdtional revenue for the choir.
The choir has a number of events planned in the year lo March 2026 10 provide operational revenue, as well
as the continuation of community focused projects. Let All Mcn Sing, which ivas ver), successful in IM)th
March 2023 and 2024 has proven to be slightly less successful in the year to March 2025 with lower
attendance. txt All Men Sing was supported ivith grant funding of £2,000 in the year to March 2024,
however, this was not possible in the year to March 2025 due to lack of availability of grants.
It has been decided that Let All Men Sing will not run in the year to March 2026. and the choir ivill seek to
fill the space with other concerts to cover the revenue.
During the year there has been little movement on the choir investments with an unrealised gain of just £233
duc to uncertainty in the market. The £120,000 investment was from the legacy received in the year ended 31
March 2022 from ihe ivill of the laie Muriel siead. This has been inv¢slcd with lh¥ iiil¢iitioii to piovid¢
revenue through investment to support choir projects in the fulure.
